what I remember:
God makes sure to point out that the (seven?) nations they will be displacing to own their land are all bigger than Israel - He will show them great and mighty things by bringing them victory. Israel is instructed to completely destroy them, not to enter peace treaties, or marry anyone -- it'll be a trap if they do.
They are to pay special attention to the laws. Don't be afraid of them - God is much bigger than them - and He's the one doing the fighting.
key verse:
Don't be afraid of them. The Lord your God is with you. He is a great God and people are afraid of Him.
about God:
God is jealous. God loves Israel. God will conquer nations much bigger than Israel. God is protective of Israel, doesn't want them to go chasing after other gods like the evil nations do.
